A first wood strip the length of which is slightly shorter than that of the left edge-sealing angle bar is inserted into the U--shape of the two U-shaped reinforcing irons, then joined, by a nail gun and an adhesive, to a second wood strip. The handle position is then inlaid with a reinforcing angle bar. The inner side of the right edge-sealing angle bar is inlaid with a U-shaped reinforcing iron the length of which is slightly shorter than that of the right edge-sealing angle bar. A third wood strip with a length corresponding to that of the U-shaped reinforcing iron is inserted therein and joined, by a nail gun and adhesive, to a fourth wood strip. The structure is coated with an adhesive and press-assembled with two contoured door skins. After assembly, a hole is drilled in the bottom edge-sealing angle bar and the hollow core formed by the two contoured door skins is filled up with ammonium polyester foamed plastic to form a high door structure which will not bend or deform.

Title: Apparatus and method for mixing a gas and a liquid
Inventor: NEWMAN MICHAEL D
IPC: A23L3/3409
Filed: 2002-02-01
Granted: 2010-04-13
Abstract: An apparatus and method are provided for mixing a gas and a liquid to produce a gaseous vapor of the liquid that is substantially free of droplets. Gas, e.g., carbon dioxide, is divided into first and second streams. The first stream is combined in an atomization zone with the liquid, e.g., acetic acid, to form an atomized mixture of the gas and liquid. This atomized mixture is then contacted with the second gas stream in a mixing zone within a mixing/separation chamber in which the second gas stream vaporizes substantially all of the atomized liquid, and the resulting mixture of gas, vaporized liquid and residual droplets moves to the separation zone of the mixing/separation chamber. In the separation zone, the residual droplets gravitationally separate from the vaporized mixture, and the vaporized mixture free of a substantial amount of residual droplets is removed from the chamber. A vaporized mixture of carbon dioxide and acetic acid is useful as, among other things, a preservative for perishable products, e.g., baked goods.
Patent CA-2378188-C (CA)
Inventor: KOKUBU TAKAO
IPC: H05B37/02
Filed: 2002-03-21
Granted: 2012-02-07
Abstract: There is disclosed an apparatus in which when a surface having a curved portion, for example, a tire surface is visually inspected, light is uniformly illuminated on the surface. In this apparatus, an image pickup operation is performed by a CCD for a region to be visually inspected, which is illuminated by turning on LEDs. Based on the image pickup result, a density distribution of the region to be visually inspected is prepared. A difference between a target light quantity and light quantity, which is obtained for each field angle of the density distribution at which the region to be visually inspected is illuminated by each light source unit, is calculated and corrected. This correction allows the quantity of light reflected from the region to be visually inspected on the inner peripheral surface to become uniform.

Abstract: A method of transitioning between the pneumatic and electric modes of an integrated pneumatic/electropneumatic train brake system which includes a brake control having a common operator brake controller. Initially, the control applies the brakes in response to the operator brake controller in the present mode. The control enables the next mode upon request from the operator and applies the brake, in the next mode to match the applied brakes in the present mode. Once the present mode brake is released, the control and system switch to the next mode. Other brake controllers monitor the network and automatically switches modes based on the status of the network.

Title: Systems and methods for redirecting users attempting to access a network site
Inventor: SHORT JOEL E
IPC: G06F21/85
Filed: 2000-10-20
Granted: 2010-06-22
Abstract: Systems and methods for redirecting a user seeking to access a network destination to different destination chosen by the network administrator, by the user, or by a network administrator. A method for redirecting a user's request for access to a destination address includes intercepting at a gateway device a request from the user for access to the destination address, and redirecting the user's computer to a web page at an address different than the destination address. The redirection can occur upon a specific condition being met, such as a lapse of time or a user's request to access a particular destination site. A system performing such redirection includes a gateway device for receiving a request from the user for access to the destination address via the user's computer, and a portal page redirection unit in communication with the gateway device for redirecting the user's computer to a portal page that can present information tailored to the user, where the redirection redirects the user's computer to the portal page at an address different than the destination address.

Title: Method and apparatus for performing digital-to-digital video insertion
Inventor: GORDON DONALD F
IPC: H04N7/16
Filed: 2000-10-24
Granted: 2011-02-08
Abstract: Techniques for seamlessly inserting a second compressed video stream (e.g., for an advertisement) into a first compressed video stream (e.g., for a program video), which can be implemented in an ad insertion processor (112) that typically includes a real time encoder (202a) (e.g., an MPEG encoder), a buffer (204a), a profiler (112), a multiplexer (112), and a splicer (112). The profiler receives the first compressed video stream and provides a "profile" for the stream, which may include bit rate and other information about the stream. The real time encoder (202a) receives and encodes a second video in accordance with a particular encoding scheme to generate the second compressed video stream. The real time encoder further controls the encoding of the second video based at least in part on the profile of the first compressed video stream such that the profiles for the two streams are approximately similar at the point in time the second stream is inserted into the first stream. The buffer (204a) stores the first compressed video stream from the real time encoder until it is needed. The multiplexer inserts the second compressed video stream into the first compressed video stream, and the splicer splices the two streams together to form the output video stream.

Abstract: An improved ePTFE-based delivery graft is intended to dispense a bioactive agent such as a drug into the blood stream. A hollow tubing is infused with the agent from a source such as a drug delivery pump mechanism. The spiral hollow tubing is wrapped in a helical fashion around, or otherwise brought into contact with an outer wall of a porous ePTFE graft and adhered thereto. The agent is delivered to the lumen of the graft by infusing the agent through the porous interstices of the graft wall. Thus, the bioactive agent is conducted by the hollow tubing from a source to the outer surface of an ePTFE graft where it is released to diffuse into the graft to influence biological processes along both the inner and outer surfaces of the graft. The present invention allows the bioactive agent or drug to be renewed or changed after implant of the graft. In addition the present invention can be implanted in the same fashion as regular vascular grafts.

Abstract: When cooking eggs (1) without the egg shell while using heat radiation, ther e is a risk that the heat radiation will burn the surface of the eggs (1). In order to cook the eggs (1) without burning them, the invention provides a shielding which is placed between the egg (1) to be cooked and the heat radiation source (2) such that it is not in contact with the egg (1 ) to be cooked so that the egg can also be cooked in a shape resembling that of a fried egg. The eg gs (1) are advantageously cooked in enclosures (5) of a preparation shell (4), whereby the shielding (6) frees areas of the preparation shell (4) between said enclosures (5) for direct heat radiation. In order to accelerate the cooking process, the heat absorbed in these areas ca n be transferred to the eggs (1) by a heat conductive connection of the preparation shell (4) to the enclosures (5).
